Short documentary from 2001, looking back at the life of the late, great, unforgettable Kenneth Williams. R.I.P. Kenneth Williams (22nd February 1926 - 15th April 1988)
As a sufferer of IBS I can sympathize completely with the dilemma Kenneth found himself in, also my social circumstances, at 74 yrs of age, are almost identical to Kenneth's from the '80s on. It made me sad that the circumstances of his life, especially the gut pain from cancer, caused him to make what must have been a very painful decision to abandon his mother at a time in her life when she was most vulnerable. Kenneth if there is a spirit world and you are aware of me, rest assured there is one old gay fart in Nowhere, Saskatchewan who knows EXACTLY how it all played out and why it ended as it did. RIP Kenneth.
Kenneth is still greatly missed and ironically more popular now then when he was alive. I wonder if that would have made a difference to the final decision.
5:08 - Who was the bloody researcher on this programme? Kenneth didn't die in February 1988, he died on 15th April 1988. His birthday was February. Pathetic!
Thank you, all of you who have helped introduce me to Kenneth Williams. What a treasure you have brought my way.
I just realised. Kenneth's voice talent would have been absolutely wonderful, stunning even, as a narrator for audio books. How sad.
Such a sad, sad ending to a truly unique comedy genius.
Wonderful actor. He made my life as a child a joy, especially with the carry on movies.
Where ever you've gone, I'm sure you're alright now Kenny. I've got your and Joe Orton's diaries next to each other on the shelf at home mate - RIP.
You will forgive me for saying this... but what an incredibly sensitive spirit you must be. Thank you for being in this world.

Great to hear that Kenneth is "more popular now than when he was alive." I just discovered him about a year ago on CZcams... and I'm in love.
his mind was always racing, like robin williams.

RIP Kenneth, tortured soul.
Kenneth's loneliness could have been a Smith's song
Please, please please let me get what I want this time
Lord knows it would the first time

Yes they were and in today's society we need more laughs not less.

So sad. And how can the producers of this documentary get his date of death wrong? 5:13 - it was *April* (1988) not February.
